Chop down a beautiful tree?

Why, FCOL? What did they gain?

If the vandals are ever caught, and I hope somebody who knows them dobs them in, they should be locked up and the keys melted, put into orbit and allowed to disintegrate as they re-enter the atmosphere.

A16 year old with a chainsaw? He was not alone. Somebody took him there, it's miles from anywhere, they helped him. Please get the lot of them.

He should be made to plant a tree every mile for ten miles each side of the site.
And then come back every month to make msure they are growing. This to be done no matter what the weater is.
And no publicity. If he gets wet that is his problem.
